COMPACT DRIVE SAVES SPACE, WEIGHT AND MONEY
Predator® V-belts can handle up to 2.2 times more power than the
equivalent size standard V-belt. A more compact drive that weighs less,
puts less strain on costlier components, and uses fewer belts. All of which
saves you money. See the difference in the following example:                     COMPARED WITH STANDARD

BIRD™ - BELT INSTALLATION AND
ROTATION DEVICE INNOVATIVE SAFETY
DEVICE TO PROTECT OPERATORS
FROM INJURY

Item Code - 7420-1001
Gates have developed the Belt Installation + Rotation Device (BIRD™) to
minimise finger and hand injuries due to hands getting caught in pinch points
during routine installation and maintenance. While a drive is shut down and
locked out, the BIRD safely facilitates a rotational inspection of a drive.

Prior to the launch of the BIRD, in order to inspect or install a drive, personnel
would pull on the belt or grab the edges of the pulley or sprocket to turn the drive.
Regardless of the care taken, this procedure is inherently dangerous — a split
second leads to a hand or finger pulled into a pinch point.

■ Keeps hands and fingers away from pinch points,
  reducing the potential for injury

■ Provides a more ergonomic way to rotate belt drives

■ Switchable on/off magnets allow for easy installation and removal of the BIRD

■ Durable case to protect the BIRD when not in use

                             This tool can be used to align both V-belt
                             and synchronous belt drives. It can show
                             both parallel and angular misalignment
                             between the pulleys.

                             gauges provide a simple solution for
                             detecting worn pulleys and identifying
                             V-belt cross sections.
                             The pulley wear gauges fit standard
                             industrial grooves, identifying excessive
                             wear before it leads to premature belt
                             failure.

                             Double Barrel - 30kg (7401-0075)
                             Gates has available two tension testing
                             tools for use in the servicing of belt drives.
                             The single barrel (15kg) and the double
                             barrel (30kg) tester can be used to
                             accurately measure the tension of
                             individual or joined belts upon installation
                             or during maintenance.
                             Using the tension tester ensures that
                             correct tension is maintained and is
                             repeatable. This will yield not only a longer
                             service life but a predictable one, enabling
                             scheduled replacement rather than
                             breakdown replacement.

                             Gates belt measurer can be mounted on your wall to easily find the inside length of a V-belt.
                             It provides an accurate measure of all belt sizes between 600mm to 4100mm. When used in
                             conjunction with our belt and pulley gauges belt identification is simple.

                             Item Codes - Plates (496-1997) Sticker (496-5008)
                             No more guessing tensions or wondering what the correct belt should be. Gates can supply
                             all your drive critical information on adhesive backed aluminium plates or stickers that can be
                             attached right onto the machine.
                             With the plate and sticker specifying which belt, how many and the tensioning data, incorrect belt
                             installation is avoided.
